Into the darkness I go
Slowly stepping past the seconds
I see the flicker of distant light
But my mind is occupied by passing hours

I hear my name through the years
Calling me to come
Or was it you whispering
I haven't yet figured it all out

There's that flicker again
Close my eyes and imagine why
I could be graced to be here
In the arms of he who loves me

I consider you in the light
And simply don't understand
Why you'd waste your time
With a creature such as me

I know there are those
Who don't see what I can see
Minutes drip by but I remain
Close by your side

I see the flicker drawing near
And reach to touch it
An electric clock so innocent
Piercing the cold dark night
